Abstract

We studied the effect of varying the target temperature (by changing the beam power) on the structure and properties of nitrogen ion implanted 304 stainless steel. With a beam power of 0.1 W/ cm2 the target temperature is restricted to 150°C. After a dose of 3. 5x1017N2+/cm2 the microhardness measured at 10g increases by 15%. With a beam power of 1.1 W/cm2 the target temperature is 500°C. After the same dose as before, the irdcrohardness increase is 40%. Glancing Angle X-ray Diffraction and Auger depth profiling results suggest that the increased hardness is due to the presence of nitrogen in solution as opposed to complete precipitation. A sample deformed by compression formed an enhanced oxide layer during implantation. This oxide layer appears to have a capping action against the out-diffusion of nitrogen.
